It finally snowed! Considering this is winter, I’m considering that as a good thing. I know a lot of people like mild temperatures and no snow in the winter but I think things are just too ugly this time of year without snow. Mild temperatures just mean it’s going to rain all of the time and I’d rather have snow than…

Changes
I’m currently going through some changes that should provide for a better life in the future. Well, as much as physical things can provide. One thing I’ve started is renovating a room in my house to be a music/photography/computer room. There will be a specific area for my computer for both working on photos and to use as a digital…
The color works…but
Yes, I’m still digging into my archives because I haven’t been out shooting for the past week. It seems like forever to me but I’m sure most readers don’t even notice. Looking at photos from this time last year, I noticed that we had a nice covering of snow which, of course, makes things somewhat pretty around here. When there is no snow…
365-362 Old haunts
Apparently I’m still on my mental vacation because I’m still not putting any effort into shooting. I’ve been relying on my processing a little too much to help carry me through the past few days, mostly because what I did shoot has been lame, at best. Today, I had to go out and buy a wireless router because I’ve finally…
365-361 Take a bad shot…
…and make it badder. My apologies to the Beatles This is really a grab shot. Taken out of my windshield while driving through town. It was incredibly dark and raining constantly all day which thwarted me from going on any photo journeys. I did go out to run some errands though and took a quick spin through town to see if I…
365-360 Counting down
It’s hard to believe I only have 5 more pictures to finish my 365. Seems like only….a year, since I started. 😉 Since I’m still on my holiday mental down time, I again didn’t put much effort into finding a photo today. But as the sun began to set, I thought it would be a good time to take a…
365-358 Holiday displays
While finishing up some last minute shopping today I swung by my employer’s office to drop some things off, since I was in the area. The office is located in a small urban area that offers some unique photo subjects. Since my wife and I had things to do I couldn’t explore too much but I saw a window display in a small music shop…
365-356 Have a drink on me
I had an unexpected work assignment in Wheeling today and on my way there I swung by the small town of West Alexander. I had visited the town previously for photos and I can usually find something of interest there. Although the old houses were nicely decorated for Christmas, I at first was going to get some architecture shots but instead I focused on an old gas…
365-348 Direction
A simple black and white abstract today. I had to go into downtown Pittsburgh for an appointment (which I’ll elaborate on at a later time) and I shot this from the parking garage. It’s kind of a habit of mine when I park in city garages to look over the edge for a different perspective on the city below. This particular…
365-345 Me and about a thousand other people
I made a visit into downtown Pittsburgh today to check on a place that I need to visit later in the week. Since I have to go there early during morning rush I wanted to be sure of where I needed to go and park. While I was there today I thought I would easily be able to get a few…
